The Best, Most Fun Date-Night Spots in Houston

"For a dinner-and-a-movie date all in one, book a ticket at River Oaks Theatre. The newly renovated movie theater, which also happens to be the oldest in Houston, screens a variety of films and independent movies, and also features its own bars with cinematic-themed cocktails, and a restaurant that delivers food straight to your seat. Diners can enjoy dishes like spicy veal and pork meatballs, lobster rolls, a saucy Luv Ya Blu Burger topped with French-fried onions and gorgonzola, pretzel bites served with beer cheese sauce and honey mustard, seafood cakes, and the banh mi-style Houston Hot Dog with Sriracha mayo and jalapeños. Dessert is also on the menu, but for a true treat, dip into Leo’s River Oaks next door for its souffles. They’re truly next-level." - Brittany Britto Garley
